Why Use Korrector

Korrector™ The Air Saddle Pad – Why Korrector?

It is a well known problem that horses change shape making it difficult to ensure that the saddle conforms to the shape of the horse’s back at all times. Even when a saddle fits a horse well, over the course of a year, changes in diet or level of fitness will result in changes of muscle structure and the shape of the horse’s back. Therefore a saddle that originally fitted well may no longer fit the horse. Many people find it difficult to get a saddle fitter to visit to re-flock or adjust the saddle and need to resort to saddle pads to take up the difference.

Most saddle pads cannot be adjusted and the majority assume that the saddle does not fit throughout its length. This is not normally the case as most saddle fitting problems only occur at the front i.e. too wide or at the back of the saddle i.e. not touching the horse’s back. Usually by using a pad to correct one area excessive pressure is placed in another.

Above you can see the same saddle on the right hand side rocks back to front and causes hot spots on the front right shoulder and a little on the back left. With Korrector™ under the same saddle (on the right) the hot spot are gone and the bearing surface is dramatically increased.

Korrector™ has four air bags for adjustment and a foam sheet for shock absorbency. You only use those pairs of bags required to correct the saddle, so cutting down on unnecessary bulk under the saddle.

Korrector™ can be used with four air bags to create a shock absorbing pad under the whole saddle panel. The bags can then be adjusted so there is more air in the front or back bags to balance the saddle front to back or even side to side.

Korrector™ can also be used with just the two front air bags to create a front riser pad or just the two back airbags to create a back riser pad.

The choice is yours! And this means you have a Korrector™ pad for all occasions!

"The most interesting thing for me was that we know there is going to be pressure when we jump a horse but it was how fast that pressure was dissipated with the WOW saddle. That and how much more forward the horse was compared to what he was normally ridden in. He felt like he was enjoying it."

Philip Spivey

"Absolutely amazing saddles, I could not believe how much a saddle could improve Dora's movement! I can really recommend them!"

Izzy Chaplin

"The horses are all much freer through their shoulders both on the flat and when jumping. I love the ease of adaptability to fit different horses, being able to fine tune them and make subtle changes to the balance while on board which would be impossible in a traditionally flocked saddle."

Francis Whittington

"WOW Saddles technology is state of the art, which helps both the horse and rider achieve maximum performance and comfort. I can highly recommend the saddle to anyone who wants to get more out of your horse."

Natalie Blundell

"Since using WOW, Trigo, our Lusitano stallion no longer has panic attacks when being mounted or needs to be long reined before being ridden. His stride has opened up, improving his lateral work and he no longer freaks during training. He is all together a much happier horse."

Richard Maxwell

"My horses are far to valuable to me in every way, to consider using something as vitally important as a saddle, for any reason other than the horse's ability to perform to the very best of its' ability& WOW and Flair are a major step forward in the way we saddle our horses."

Richard Davison

"The saddle’s Flair air flocking system is proven to be far superior over traditional wool flocking or foam, for both fit and pressure distribution, enabling the horses to perform at their best cross country."

Paul Tapner

"Riding on WOW was amazing; a really different experience& He was totally free in the shoulder, totally over the back, I was almost trying to stop him and not push him& He felt completely through, a wonderful experience."

Wayne Channon

"Since using the Wow saddle I have felt a huge difference in Affinity Bay's way of going. He has the ability to come up more through the shoulder which allows him more easily to come under with his quarters and 'sit' in work such as canter pirouettes."
